That leaves only one series left, Kelowna vs Seattle where the Rockets are halfway to becoming the 2nd team in WHL history to erase a 3-0 series deficit. Game six goes tomorrow in Kent. All kinds of injuries for the Rockets but they are battling through it.
Tyson Baillie has really stepped up his game. Keep an eye on him for this years draft.
Can't wait for the second round. Awesome to see the Blades and Royals out in particular. Some great matchups coming up next round.

The Rockets have lost another couple regulars in games 3 and 4 but credit to them for making it to game 6. If they could somehow find a way to win and make it a one game showdown that would be great. I think with six starters out crawling back to game 7 would be impressive.
Baillie isn't draft eligible until next year, he's a 2014. I think he's going to rack up a ton of points next year and get 2nd/3rd round attention, him and Stadel look like getting drafted next year and Chartier could be a high pick the year after, hopefully some other decent kids for 2015 arrive on the scene this summer. Bowey, Lees and Wheaton should all get picked this year, probably in that order but Wheaton might go before Lees depending. I love the edge to Baillie's game for a kid that young who's not the biggest guy.
